I was chatting with folks last night online, and the topic of Martha Stewart’s prison term came up. Someone mentioned something about the stereotypical file in a cake. I figured that most of us would be more than a tad fearful of being critiqued about a baked good by Martha. “Lovely of you to . . . → Read More: Why Martha Stewart won’t be able to break out of prison

I was really feeling kind of low key/sleepy for most of this weekend. It was hard to get stuff done, and I caught up on sleep, which I probably needed. I did manage to rake the leaves, catch up on a few minor domestic chores (finally, a working doorbell!), and give the dogs a . . . → Read More: Lazy weekend and funeral of a friend I was out Wednesday night, and a friend was traumatized by the unexpected death of a mutual friend. A group of us were all pretty much in shock. There had been some health crises in the past. Part of me felt sort of bad. My ex had decided on what seems in retrospect not . . . → Read More: Loss of a friend So, as planned, I went to Mom’s for Thanksgiving. I brought my 2 dogs, who frolicked happily with Mom’s 2 dogs. Grandma is not really a pet person, but all 4 dogs seemed a bit more settled down than the last time I was over. I helped out some with dinner. It was sort . . . → Read More: A nice family Thanksgiving The company owner here at ECCA sent the photo below from an old Popular Mechanics. The future isn’t what it used to be. Amusingly enough, he had a line in there about it breaking Jim’s heart. Before I opened the picture, I wondered if it was something dealing with cooking meat, as Jim is . . . → Read More: Amusing photo from my boss Done with the December 2004 issue of the newsletter, which went okay. Alas, the print shop had another big job that they were printing digitally, so I had to choose between having them print a hard copy and photocopying that, or waiting until after Thanksgiving to distribute. I went for getting it out now. . . . → Read More: Newsletter done, an okay day I have been a little bit busy with newsletter deadline time. (Actually, in this part of the cycle, it’s Deb who bears the brunt of it. My busy times tend to bracket hers. I went to the Tret Fure concert last night at the UU. She had been there last year, and it was . . . → Read More: Tret Fure concert, newsletter deadline and birthday stuff I pretty much saw this coming. My 17 1/2 year old cat, Annabelle Esmeralda, passed on last night. My friend Paula suggested maybe taking her to the vet’s to be put down, but I just had the sense that it was very close to the end regardless. When I came home from work, she . . . → Read More: Annabelle’s passing I did go in for jury duty today. The waiting room for jurors was quite packed, but I noticed an empty seat towards the back, next to a grandmotherly sort. As I sat down, I noticed that she was wearing a large silver pentagram around her neck. I smiled and said “Blessed be!” She . . . → Read More: Jury duty and Pagan grandmother I think that my 17 year old cat, Annabelle is not long for this world. She has been seeming very frail, and pretty much just huddles on the couch. Truth to tell, given her advanced age, it isn’t really unexpected. She means well, but has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer. It . . . → Read More: Ailing Annabelle and Jury Duty |
